Reviews for The Guantánamo Effect: Exposing the Consequences of U.S. Detention and Interrogation Practices
"Most of this succinct and worrying book is about detention itself, but an intriguing section goes on to look at ex-detainees trying to piece together the semblance of lives after their ordeal."
